Monistat for nipple thrush ?

Has anyone done this before? I’m running out of my APNO cream and the main anti-thrush ingredient is miconazole 2% which is the same as monistat..with APNO it’s to be applied after each feed and not to be wiped off so I think I’ll do the same... just wondering if anyone’s done this before? I won’t be able to see my GP for a week and a half and the nips are a wreck.

I’m an exclusive pumper by the way! Would be curious to hear if any other exclusive pumpers have had this problem.. there had been no change to my pump settings when my nips became bright red and super tender (untouchable!) about 3 weeks ago. Apno takes the edge off but I still need the medela soft shells at all times.. I’m thinking I’ll either need the oral anti-thrush meds (fluconazole) OR that it’s not even thrush. Going to try this monistat OTC until I can see my Gp I think.

I want to throw in the towel with pumping so badly, but feel guilty just thinking about it. (So much pressure!)
